Think so. But you should check, if it is maybe cleaner to remove the
copy in the root directory and use the stuff in ARPACK, because this
package is a compilation of ARPACK and PARPACK. But some time has passed
since I touched the package, so you need to check this carefully.
Some patches (quilt) are applied to both copies of ARPACK and some
changes are not done via patch system (IIRC - just compare the copies in
the root path and in ARPACK/). IMHO this situation should/could be
improved too.
